06 Sep The Spa at Fifty Four Park Street, Sydney

Leaving the hustle and bustle of Castlereagh Street and entering Fifty Four Park Street Health Club and Day Spa is a wonderfully surreal experience. Immediately you face a cascade of chandeliers, which hang over the entrance staircase. The descent to the day spa entrance overlooks a huge 22-metre plunge pool that lies below.

I find day spas all tend to have their own unique atmosphere to offer clients. Fifty Four Park Street feels like a real life palace hidden away in the city’s centre.

The spa provides state-of-the-art treatments including facials, body wraps, manicure, pedicure and Vichy showers. My beauty therapist Eve recommended a customised facial, which involved an initial skin assessment to determine which treatment would give me the best results. I also added on an Omnilux session and a shape and polish manicure.

A customised facial is $130 and an Omnilux session as an add on is $60. A session of Omnilux on its own is $110 so I highly recommend adding it to your facial. The shape and polish was $30 as an add on ($35 on its own).

If you are after an escape from city life, but don’t want to travel far I highly recommend Fifty Four Park Street Day Spa. I left with practically poreless skin and perfectly polished nails.
